The Wholesale Lie and the Aftermath

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Biden, Christian values, Communism, Crime, Elections, Important things, Kamala Harris, Politcal Opinion, Reporters, Social Media, The Clintons by

This post, in part refers to the previous post of a couple of days ago, “Helping the Devil.”  It also refers to the letter by over 50 former intelligence officials implying that the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian hoax.

The letter was a lie.  At the time, they all knew it was a lie.  Now, we should all know it was a lie.  Unfortunately, because of the highly biased media, the word is not yet spread.  Oh, and by the way, those in the media knew it was a lie as well0.  Hence, they have aided in the lie and the cover up of the lie.

I could go on and on, but, surely, you get my point.  At least I hope you do.  I mean, it has now become obvious after the hearings in The House of Representatives committee.  A person of average intelligence should know about the lie by the intelligence community, even if they are in a sealed room and with their heads buried in the sand.

Well, I should know better.  As I said before, some people prefer to believe the lie because they want to.  They are staunch Biden fans and they won’t believe the truth when it hits them in the face.

At any rate, I’m done with that.  If you believe the truth now, good for you.  If you don’t, no power on earth will change your mind anyway.

At this point, I am writing on the premise that the lie is truly exposed and everyone knows it.  Now.  What of the aftermath?

First, to be sure, Satan is thrilled.  He has received the help of, not one, but millions of people.  There are those that told the lie.  There are those that helped to disperse the lie, as if it were rock solid true.  Knowing it was a lie, makes them liars too.  Then, there are the millions who believed the lie, not because of the evidence, but in spite of the evidence.

Many people say that if they knew it was a lie, they would not have voted for Old Joe.  Don’t know how true that is but let’s assume it is true.  The election would have gone to President Trump.  I really don’t think the devil would have liked that.  When Joe won, then so did Satan.

So, the damage is to the benefit of Satan and his helpers.  The dems, in the short term win.  Satin wins, for a while.  Trump and his supporters suffer.  Some have been illegally tried and convicted.  Some are still being held without being tried yet.  Businesses, which refuse to go woke, suffer.  In some cases, they have gone into bankruptcy.

The price of oil has skyrocketed, which has problems of its own.  Bribery, crime and fraud have grown rapidly.  Crime, and yes, gun crime is headed toward all time highs.  And, of course, Old Joe wants to let the criminals go and do away with the guns.

Here’s the important part, folks.  Open your eyes, because everyone needs to understand this.  It is almost all irreversible.  Some of it can be by the righted by the right president and congress.  How-some-ever, most of it is permanent.

Men, good men have been tossed out of the military because they refused to take a shot, which we now know is ineffective, possibly dangerous.  Even if they were re-instated today, those years of their lives are gone…forever.  They lost chances for promotions, maybe awards.

If a president were to pardon all the people improperly charged and imprisoned for January 6, those people have lost a big part of their lives.  Some have lost their health as a result of how they were treated in prison, intentionally.

If we drove the price of oil back down to twenty dollars a barrel, Putin would have to toss in the towel.  He’d no longer have the money to wage war on Ukraine.  That would be the good news.  The bad news is that the men who lost their limbs and their lives and their personal property; that cannot be fixed.  Hopefully, Putin would be looking for another job.

That disaster in Afghanistan, sorry.  The only one who can do a thing about that is God.  I am sure Satan loves that.  It makes it very difficult for the Gospel to be spread there now.  People will not know the plan of salvation and they will spend eternity in hell.  And, oh yes, those of you that like to champion women’s rights.  Forget it.  Many of the young women we were putting through school, if they didn’t escape, they were likely tortured and or killed.  I’m sure Satan loved that.  As for Old Joe.  I’m not ever sure he knows about it.  Oddly, I hope he lives out his term.  I can’t imagine what might happen with a president Harris.

When all is said and done, Satan has tightened his control on this country, on this world and, to some degree on all of us.

That wholesale lie helped Satan more than any of us will ever know.  Did they do it to help the devil?  I doubt it.  It really makes no difference.  It’s still the aftermath.  The damage was done.  Most of it can’t be undone.  And, by the way, in this post, I only touched the surface.  It is far worse than I can say or know.  Some people don’t know.  Some don’t care.  Some would not care if they did know.  A few…just a few, have gained power and fortunes.  It was their motive.  It was their desire.  Now that they have it, they certainly will hold onto it with all their might.

This brings me to my final point.  Just why did they tell the lie?  What was their purpose?  Those men knew what they were doing was wrong.  They knew something about what the outcome would be.  Why in the world did they come up with the idea of writing the letter and signing it?

I don’t know.  I have spent some time considering it.  I can guess there was likely some form of bribe.  On the other hand, were there threats?  Maybe someone told them they would lose their pensions.  Maybe there were threats made against their lives or the lives of relatives.  Did they really believe in Old Joe was the right man for the job?  That one really scares me.  Would they really, really be that dumb?

This side of infinity, none of us will really know, will we?  On the other hand, we will have to live with consequences; those of us that lived through it.

The Plans of Mice and Men

Posted in Awkward Situation, Crazy Nuts by

My Nissan Ariya was down to about 30% so I decided that while we went out for lunch, I’d also get it charged up. Well that was the plan. The Internet showed that there are three charge stations. The one at the Nissan dealer, I already knew about. I wanted to find something else in case the one at the dealer wasn’t available.

So we set out to Sam’s Club. Couldn’t find it…the charger. I’ve been to the store a few times. To make matters worse, I used quite a bit of the charge just waiting in line. That was a bad idea. Next time I’ll call ahead and see if they will give me a little better instructions. Or, for that matter, if they will let me use it without being a Sam’s Club member.

No big thing. Right across the street are more chargers. Two problems. I couldn’t get to them and they likely had no power to them anyway. The police had the access blocked… a bunch of police. A dump truck driver forgot to lower the bed after dumping his load and wiped out several power wires and power poles. No power on that side of the road for a block and a half. Worse, the traffic was backed up, causing me to use more power.

At this point, I figured it was time to go back to Old Faithful, the dealership. More problems. They disconnected the charger because of some remodeling. Moreover, there was hardly anyone there. One man told me they had one at the Chevy place. How revolting. I was going to have to go back to the place I bought my HHR.

Fortunately, they did in fact have a charger they had put in the day before and it was a simple matter of moving a Tesla out of the way to get to it. An hour later, mission accomplished, I left, of course after paying the Chevy dealer and thanking them. (still don’t like the Chevy)

As bad as my day was, I don’t think it was all that bad. I’d sure hate to be that poor dump truck driver.

Helping the Devil

Posted in Bribes, Christian values, law enforcement, Lobbyists, Petty theft, Politally Correct, Religion, Truth by

I had the idea on this post, I guess about three days ago.  However, I am just now getting around to writing it.  Why?  I just don’t know how.  I wish I did.  I have prayed about it.  I prayed for help or even if I should write it.  I suspect that it will do little good.  Many will argue the existence of the devil in the first place.  Some will argue that they aren’t helping the devil when they are, while deep down in their heart they know better.

Let’s look at how the devil works.  It’s not new.  The Bible speaks of how he works, lies, deception, pride, the offering of short term gains.  By the way, those who help the devil use the same methods.  However, they also add bribes, terror, and, well, let’s just call it group think.  You fall outside the in crowd and your name is mud.  Your business goes bust.  Your cake decorating shop gets sued because you refuse to accept what the government calls marriage.  (God had the first say and He will have the last say on that subject.)

So.  Let’s give it just a little thought.  That time you told a lie about that politician.  You helped the devil.  That time you bribed that government official, you helped Satan in his deception.  That time you helped that dishonest person running for office, you helped evil to prosper.  When you go down and buy that lottery ticket, you helped Satan.

I guarantee every time a person goes into a gambling casino, the devil smiles.  Win or lose, the devil wins and society loses.

Of course, voting does not always occur at the polls.  When you encourage the defunding of the police, Satan is jumping for joy.  Every time a person goes through a store and takes all he can carry, guess what?  Satan wins, that is for the short term, and you are helping him.

It’s more than just repeating the lies of the devil.  It is also accepting them.  You say, “Of course Biden won the election.  Everyone knows it.”  Only you know it’s a deception from the dems and originated by the evil one himself, Satan.

I ask you.  Do you really believe that Old Joe is a better man for president than President Trump?  I mean, do you really down deep in your heart believe that lie, or do you just want to believe it?  On the other hand, there are those who don’t care.  All they want is the power, which is also, what Satan wants.

Ergo, you chose to believe the lie and as such, you are aiding and abetting the devil.  It’s not a matter of if you want to.  It is not a matter if you believe it.  It’s the simple fact that you are.

In the process, you helped to put hundreds, maybe thousands of innocent people in prison for January 6.  And you are helping those trying to put the one president that has done the most for this nation in over fifty years in prison.  Even more, he has done great things for God’s church, allowing them freedom of religion.  I don’t think Satan liked it when he fought for Christians to be exempt from paying for abortions.  I don’t think Satan liked those justices he put on the Supreme Court either.  Actually, the dems didn’t like any of that much either.

Actually, if you go down through the things that Satan is trying to do and what the dems are trying to do, there are many similarities.  Regardless of the motives, I am certain that Satan is very grateful for the help.

The lies, the bribes, and the threats, they all go toward his goals.  One day, Satan will answer.  I know.  I have read the last of the book.  Guess what.  He will not be alone.  His demons will be right there with him in that fire.  Also, those that have helped him will spend eternity paying for their lies and deceit.  Hell was not made for man but for the devil.  God does not want to send one man or woman there.  They will go of their own choice by rejecting the salvation provided by Jesus Christ.

Ad Repetition

Posted in Advertising by

Most times through the day, I listen to WREC. In general, their programming is good. However, for some reason they have latched onto I-Heart as a primary advertiser…I guess. Well, to be sure, someone does need to pay the bills. However, they seem to be one of the best examples of how to annoy a listener by repetition in advertising.

It’s getting irritating. Moreover, no matter how much they advertise I-Heart, I’ll never do business with them. I don’t like their product. Even if I did, I hate repetition. There is one ad they have played and have been playing that just irritated me when I first heard it and they insist on playing it, it seems a minimum of once an hour since.

If they continue to insist on playing it, I will leave the station. Not sure where I’ll go but I’ll find somewhere or I’ll simply stop listening to radio. I suspect I won’t be alone. If nothing else, I just might find somewhere on the internet.

As an aside, the best way to keep AM on radio is to make sure they don’t drive the listeners off.

Removal of AM From New Cars

Posted in Auto Quality Control, Being woke, CEO Princeple, Left Turns, Politcal Opinion by

There would seem to be panic over the concept that auto manufacturers are going to remove AM radios from their new cars. It would seem to some that it would be panic to talk radio. I guess I can see their point. There are some benefits to AM radio in modern society. However, it’s not that bad as it looks.

When I was a young man (mid 1960s), I had an AM/FM radio that neatly fit in my shirt pocket. And, guess what? It wasn’t all that expensive. It ran on a couple of double A batteries and for its size, it sounded good, especially with an earphone. I am sure they could build something like that today. It would be quite easy to make it so it could have Bluetooth or a USB connection. Or, of course, it could simply plug into a large powered speaker.

The folks that want AM would still have AM. They wouldn’t let the lack of AM in their car get in their way. On the other hand, it seems to me that the auto manufacturers wouldn’t gain that much by discontinuing the AM. Eventually, people will discover they don’t need the entertainment centers at all. My guess is that Auto dealers make a bunch of money off those things. If People say, we don’t want it, they don’t make a dime. A person can go down to the neighborhood auto radio installer and put one in that does have AM as well as a few other bells and whistles.

Actually, putting those AM radios in a car probably cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-15. Do they really want to risk the loss of customers and or sale of options for the savings of so little. Maybe. I don’t know. Whoever makes the decision just might be a dem. They don’t mind losing money, as long as it isn’t theirs.

As an aside. I sort of wish I had that old radio. It was a Zenith. They just don’t seem to make them like that anymore. It’s a shame.

Sure Wish I Bought That Generator

Posted in Uncategorized by

So, we, the wife and I sit in the dark. Well, not quite. It blacked out 4 times for a short time. Close enough to make me set my mind on buying a generator next chance I get.

But, wait. Generators cost money and require maintenance. And, of course they aren’t needed while we have power. Do I really want to go out and buy something I won’t use for a year? Who knows? I might not ever use it.

In fact, I might end up selling it for half what it cost. Then, I will lose power the next day. Isn’t that the way it goes?

Personally, I think it’s a conspiracy by those who build generators.

As it would happen. This time I really need that generator. It’s dark. I wonder if all the hardware stores are sold out. Then again, maybe it’s time to buy some ice.

His Mistake… Maybe

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Gun Safety by

A couple of years ago, a man near St. Louis stood in front of his house and defended it. Odd, but for some reason, the district attorney thought that it was a horrible unpardonable crime, this in spite of the fact that members in the crowd were armed. Of course, they were all trespassing on private property.

Never could understand that whole thing. He never fired a shot and a year of his life was ruined. If he hadn’t had a pretty good bank account, he might still be in jail serving a term for defending his castle against armed marauders.

At any rate, I have thought about the whole thing many times and over and over. Wait a minute. I think that’s redundant. Well you get my point.

I think I have figured out his mistake. Instead of using an AR-15, he should have used a golf club. He could have lined up a dozen golf balls and started swinging. Have you ever seen a crowd scatter?

I think by the time he hit the third ball, he’d have them on the run.

The beautiful part about the idea is simple. There is no way the woke will ever try to outlaw golf clubs or golf balls. You talk about insurrection if they should they try it. I mean, I honestly I do believe there are more golf clubs in this country than guns. Moreover, there is no requirement to have serial numbers on them, even if it would do any good.

Moreover, after a little practice, a person could do more damage with a club than a gun, and with less noise. I understand a good golfer can hit a ball over three hundred yards. And, of course, no one ever wants to be hit by one a second time.

Ignore

Posted in Education by

Did you ever notice the word ignore is somewhat hiding in the word ignorance. It does seem appropriate. If we keep ignoring what the dems and the NEA are doing to our schools, we should not at all if those graduating are ignorant. Ignorant of our history, our Constitution and our economic system, just for starters.

It does scare me when I think that these are the future leaders of our nation. Time to stop ignoring and say something. Time to start complaining about mediocre teaching. Better yet, time to turn the teaching over to private schools and keep the NEA out of it.

Who Has the Better Offer

Posted in Christian values by

I am just a little confused. There are those who chose religion over Christianity. Why? Just who has the better offer? Is Buddhism better than eternal life with Jesus. Is there something the Hindus offer that is better than what is offered by Christ.

Besides this, who has any power to fulfill any promise. I mean, to the best of my knowledge, even the Buddhists admit that Buddha is no longer living. What can he do for you? What could he do for you if he were still alive?

Only Jesus has a real promise. Only He has the power to fulfill the promise. Only He will provide you with life that will last…forever.

Why chase the counterfeit when Jesus, the real one, the only one who can truly provide you with eternal life. He not only has the better offer. He has the only offer. The rest have empty promises, if they have promises at all.

As my aside, be careful. There are those who would like you to believe they represent Christ, that they are ambassadors of the one true God. If they teach anything other than what is in the Bible, they are frauds. If they seek money and fame, be very careful. If they stand in pride in what they have done, most likely they don’t represent God. Finally, if they teach that you must belong to their church for salvation, they teach a lie.

While believing in Jesus Christ is an absolute requirement for salvation, belief in any church, in any organization, or in any person other than Jesus, is idolatry. It will gain you nothing. Rituals will not gain you salvation, even baptism and the Lords supper. However, we as Christians we observe baptism and the Lord’s supper in obedience only after we accept Jesus as our savior. Jesus, himself instituted the sacraments. He told us to celebrate the Lord’s supper in remembrance of Him. As he ascended into heaven, he told us to preach the Gospel and to baptize.

It seems, Everybody’s Jumping

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Biden, Christian values, Elections, Liberals, Politally Correct, Socialists by

I’m sure that most of you, as with me, heard the expression, “If everyone jumps off a cliff, would you do it too.” It is a simple admonition to keep us from following the mistakes of others. Perhaps it was used a little too much as it did somewhat lose its effectiveness on many. Nonetheless, there is something to it. Just because others do things, that doesn’t make it the smart thing to do. Sometimes, the rush by others can be downright dumb.

Not to make a jump to another subject, but I frequently go up and down I-55 between Southaven and Hernando. As I do, I see this big sign on the side of a building. It made me wonder, just who are they? Just what do they do? Finally, I looked them up on the web. Mostly, it wasn’t that surprising. However, I’m going to leave their name out and what they do in this post. I see no point in disparaging them here.

The thing is that just as I was about to leave their web site, I saw their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governmental) statement. It is one of those things that is not required by law, but it would seem everyone is doing it. Everyone seems to be jumping off that cliff, despite all the admonition of their parents.

The Budweiser corporation jumped off that cliff and it almost drove them into bankruptcy. The Disney Corporation decided to make the jump and their stockholders are still smarting. I noticed some outfits are trying to straddle the fence, that is, they are making it look as if they are jumping without actually jumping. When I went into Firestone the other day to have my HHR worked on, they had a small, almost unnoticeable little statement on one of their advertising boards. It made me wonder what they would say if I asked them about it.

Why the sudden change? What happened that companies risk losing significant income just so they can suffer the income loss as with everyone else? Moreover, even worse, purposely, intentionally they are giving up market share. People are still drinking beer, just someone else’s. People are still buying clothes, just not from Target.

People have buying habits. When they change people they do business with, it tends to be permanent. If those people who used to drink Bud, decide some other brand is better, they just might not return. In other words, this stupidity might have long-term damage.

Well, it used to be, that is to say in times past, it was the duty and the purpose of corporate boards to make money for the owners of the company, that is to say, the shareholders. It seems Old Joe did not like that concept. He could not change the law but he did make the suggestion that it would be a good idea that all companies have a different policy. He wants the corporate boards to make decisions made on the effect to environment, to social biases and governmental issues. The last, just so you know, means, how it effects the dems.

As I say, it is not required. It is not law. However he is pushing it just as far as he can with the power he has. And, as you can see, it is having its affect. For some reason, corporations seem to think it will help them to join the crowd and make the leap, knowing that it will be disastrous to their bottom line, and, of course their stockholders.

It does make me wonder, what the stockholders of Target are thinking right now, as they saw their stocks plummet. I think we know what the Budweiser stock holders are thinking… damage control. I have seen a few of the commercials since their leap into ESG and it looked an awful lot like they were trying to do some serious backing up, all the while, trying to make if look as if they aren’t retreating. They’ve trotted out their Clydesdales and given to the veterans. I wonder just what is next. Well. I know what would be best. A simple statement of admission to the mistake and an apology. However, if you’re waiting for that to happen, you can forget it. That alphabet soup group will not let that happen.
